The Village Suites

I’ve lived here for almost a year now, everything has been great, no complaints. The office staff is always very nice and helpful. The rent price is all inclusive so it’s convenient not having to put an electric bill, cable bill, water/sewer in your name. Just found out on their site they also offer to report your rent payments to credit bureaus which can definitely help to boost your credit.

100% recommend for students -- you will not find any other place in Plattsburgh this good. I've lived here on and off for around 4 years. Early on I loved it. It was cheap, the property was nice, I was staying with friends, everything was cool. Some of the staff at that time were pretty awful though and I originally had left a pretty bad review after multiple bad encounters. Summer rent at that time was just $270 a month and even though it's gone up it's still pretty low and perfect for students (it's cheaper than on-campus where they charge $30 per night). It's still pretty good here. They are working on renovating the units and the grounds are generally well-kept. The 'desk' by the window in the older units is too shallow to be a good computer desk so it is less of a desk and more of a counter and it can not be moved so purchasing a real desk isn't really an option given the limited space. I never have an issue with parking. There is plenty of storage in the kitchen. My room is large enough for my liking, though I lucked out on the bathroom as it is probably the smallest one. There are no pests on the 3rd floor but there are some crevices where some walls connect so you get the occasional critter. In the past I lived in a ground-level room and that was an issue for me. It gets really hot up on the 3rd floor so be prepared to be running fans all summer or get an AC unit. Winter is fine as heating is included and each room has a thermostat so you don't have to worry about fighting with your suite mates. There are bicycle racks around the lot but people do steal bikes in Plattburgh so make sure you lock yours well. For the price and having dedicated on-site parking for tenants, you really can not find anything in the area this good. One thing that I would like to see is the ability to pay the rent online. This was possible in the past but was probably difficult to track as it had to be manually entered into the system (I think) so they got rid of it and as as software contractor I know it's not always cheap to add things like that. On a side note not impacting my rating in this review, Spectrum is the internet provider (for pretty much all of Plattsburgh) and although it's out of control of RV, it is really a bummer that we can not have ethernet access as the wifi can be unreliable due to interference. There are rarely outages but the overall connection strength can be questionable. For example, using the microwave in the kitchen will cause network instability, especially for rooms farther from the router. The internet is quite fast but can become easily congested with 4+ concurrently connected devices, and add the interference issue and it's pretty rough at times. Typically ISPs like Spectrum are in control of the equipment and service, and we all know how god-awful it is to call for support.. so keep that in mind. On another side-note, if you are unsure between Renaissance Village Suites and Broadstreet Commons .. know that BSC has some serious issues such as: - people's stuff getting stolen/tossed from storage - poor leasing terms - terrible communication.. it will literally take 6 months to receive your deposit back, if you even get it back

Go someplace else-- anywhere else... This place is not what it appears to be and you will regret staying here.

I have stayed there for 3 months and that's really great experience! Nice room and staff. Isabell is very lovely, she's always very supportive!
